[Spridgets] Oil Pressure Too High

Greetings!

Over the last few months I have noticed the oil pressure in my Bugeye with a 1275 slowly creeping higher. Earlier this year, it was running about 70 cold idle and 75 at cold 3000 rpm. Hot idle would be 45 psi and 60 psi hot 3000 rpm. Last week, it went to 80 psi cold idle and almost 85 cold at 3000 rpm. Hot idle was over 70 psi and over 80 psi at 3000 rpm hot.
Today I swapped out different pressure relief valves, springs and even tried the ball bearing. No difference, except the ball bearing shot it up to almost 100 psi cold. 
Any thoughts on where I should look next? Thanks.
